My Fantasy
I thought that we were lovers
I thought that we were beautiful together
Like sun and moon in the eclipse
Like moving lips in our first kiss
(Chorus):
You see...
I thought that I knew you
And you knew me
But now I see that's just
My fantasy
Yesterday you said you'd come over later
Day before that said you're busy at work
Why'd you make no time for me?
Some feelings you're hiding about my worth?
Monday you had lunch with friends
Tuesday said you were "sick at home"
Why can't you just talk straight to me,...

plain and simple
It's plain and simple
Now and later
Licorice flavah'
To sweeten up the tears
An aftertaste of beer
With jelly beans
And sour dreams
A bitter in the mouth
It seems I have the power
To treat incessant fever
With cleavers
Build you up and
Break you down and
Pick some up for later
A cruel punishment of fate
Or a tableful of dinner
(Just don't forget the honey, please)
I pray to God
He'll bless my sneeze, and it'll
Be all over
But I've got to savor,
I've got a favor to savor
And to watch...

I love them
I love them
Can they see that I love them?
My heart is a charred basin brimming with rich amber
Rich and wealthy with the beauty of other’s voices
Of my own, too…
I love us
Can you feel that I love us?
A white moon illuminates the dewy grass under my toes
Drops of moisture cling to my soles and remind me
That I can walk on water
I love it
Can you see that I love it?
My thoughts race through tunnels and smiles
Glinting eyes and mountain sunsets
I love life
Can you see how I love life?
Dreams of the early day become hopes of the...

One Last Time
My heart is with you,
My soul is in your hands
It’s a long, long journey across
Distant desert sands
But when I hold you in my mind,
You look straight, staring in my eyes
There’s a reason I’m here with you, just this
One last time
Chorus:
We hold, we speak,
We walk the night along
We dress in all our fancy clothes,
A harmony in our sweet song
We drink, we laugh,
We feel the rhythm of
The bass drum band
Feel the gentle breeze
Moving through our hair
Open the window,
Let in the city air
When I...

Instructions for Ingestion
When eating,
you must always enjoy yourself.
When eating a meal,
it is of the utmost importance to
savor it,
to taste the food on your plate.
You must be

Let your eyes touch every
treasure

lies prostrate in the cloud
and your tongue melts

Giraffe
Giraffes display
magnificence
in their towering height
taller than the clouds,
their heads disappear
into trees,
tongues lapping up leaves,
tails swaying as
jaws grind a satisfying “rip” of foliage
No animal induces such wonder and awe,
has such qualities of a shimmering
ladder-of-a-neck, and gangly
stilt-like legs
to allow a space on the
ground
as well as in the sky
No animal has so much
pride and authority
as the giraffe,
who commands the stars
as well as the earth
No other creature is so...

Why Are Your Eyes So Dark?
Why are your eyes so dark?
What troubles your mind?
What makes you sink, and sputter, and fall?
Why has this light gone out?
What put out the flame?
What is it that you are dying for?
Is it because he ran away,
And stole your breath?
His silhouette is walking out the door
I wish I knew why it took you so long
So long to realize he's gone!
Only 12 hours left
Till we say goodbye
I'm holding an hourglass, your face is cry
Why did we go this far
To have it all end?
How come we chose to love like it was pretend?...

Evening's Bliss
Silently, purr,
In the evening's bliss
The bed awaits
The fluffy duvet calls the
Air to compress, to
Exhale every last
Sigh
To relax under
The weight of soft lashes
And eyelids
Hypnotists have nothing on
This
This is natural, baby, and
It is like a cloud
Troubles are wispy
Fears are hazy
Please, don't bother me now
I am resting, and the Sun has
Not yet shown his
Bright white smile
In the evening's bliss
The bed awaits
The fluffy duvet calls the
Air to compress, to
Exhale every last
Sigh
To relax under
The weight of soft lashes
And eyelids
Hypnotists have nothing on
This
This is natural, baby, and
It is like a cloud
Troubles are wispy
Fears are hazy
Please, don't bother me now
I am resting, and the Sun has
Not yet shown his
Bright white smile

In the End
You are my laugh
You're every giggle that tickled me silly, you know
I've got one for you to tell
A joke that's better than life itself
Knock-knock tell me a story
Of when you were three years old
And punch-lines were
Slow lines at the Disney park
You see, it was dreamy
All that creamy whipping
Fried dough dripping with
Chocolate sauce
And rainbow sprinklers sprinkled on the
Candy grass
It was fun, and licorice wheels trailed skid marks...
Trailed love
And it stopped the clock,
Big Ben took a nap for awhile,...

I'll always remember...
I'll always remember
the day I lost my virginity to
the brunette living in my
computer
it was a beautiful evening and
the zeros and ones shone
green into the night
It was a romantic endeavor that
lasted no longer than three
minutes and was just like the
one before it
but I suppose, it can't be
called 'loosing' it then, if it
happens again, and again...
Oh, beautiful humanity, how
simple the pleasures of life
that lead me to seek my
solitude
and play with the subtlest
knife.

Ms. Boa
Miss Boa,
Oh eyes so bright
They cut through the sky
How beautiful your tongue
How graceful your slither in the night
Those who give you love
Are lucky to stay alive
Oh, Miss Boa,
Your forked red arrow pierces my warmth
How beauteous your eyes
so bright
And your embrace
so tight
Oh Boa...
No, Boa, not so hard, not so tight!
I must finish this ballade before the waning night!
But it is right that you are strong, with frightening senses and a devilish tongue
And a song of hissing spitting woe
When your mother...
